About HttpClient for Android introduction here is not much to say, here only introduce httpclient for Android. The way the jar is generated.
On HttpClient's Apache website, http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi, find the httpclient for Android download, is a zip or tar.gz, these two decompression is the source code, and there is no relevant jar file.
for this source of use, there are no more than two kinds :
1. As the library project use, but the official website to the source code is a gradle about the project, not a module, so if you use, you need to reinvent yourself!
2. Modify the source code to the required or direct use of the source code, packaged into a jar file. The source is a gradle package, so there's no need to use ant or maven for packaging, just use it!
to package using Gradle:
1, download the Gradle and configure the environment variables before using Gradle
Prerequisite: Install Gradle. The installation process is simple:
(1) Download Gradle
(2) Add Gradle_home/bin/gradle to $path.
2. Under the Decompression folder httpcomponents-client-android-4.3.5, can see two files Gradlew.bat (Gradlew for Linux use), Build.gradle.
3. First execute the Gradlew.bat, the execution process will be error: '
Failure:build failed with an exception.
Where:
Build file ' g:...\httpcomponents-client-android
-4.3.5\build.gradle ' line:110
What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project ' Httpclient-android '.
Could not find property ' plugin ' on Com.android.build.gradle.LibraryExtension_

Try:
Run with–stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run With–info Or–debug
option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
Total time:8.329 secs '
This error is the fault of compiling httpclientforandroid doc file, if the doc file is not needed now, the two tasks about Doc are commented out in the Build.gradle file, that is, the Code comment section:
//Task Createandroidjavadoc (type:javadoc) {//DependsOn variant.javacompile//Source = Variant.javaCompile.source//Classpath = Files (Android.plugin.bootClasspath, variant.javaCompile.classpath.files)//title "Apache HttpClient for Android $HC _ver API"//Configure (options) {//DocTitle "Apache HttpClient for Android $HC _ver API"//Bottom "Copyright © ${inceptionyear}-${calendar.instance.get (Calendar.year)} "+//"<a href=\" http://www.apache.org/\ ">the Apache software foundation</a>.

4. After modifying the Build.gradle file, save, and then execute Gradlew.bat, no more error! Next, execute the following command:
//生成不含源码的jargradle createAndroidSrcJar//生成含有源码的jar
